Drew's coming around. He seems like a RINO that bought into the Fox News bullsh** about the Democrats, but is seeing that maybe he needs to jump off the GOP bandwagon until they get their sh** together.

I'm more appalled about how Trump is spinning this into a "patriotic" rally. The perversion of how a silent "protest" (moreso just an awareness) about the injustice and inequality for minorities has turned into a bare chested masturbation during the playing of the National Anthem, and if you won't join the circle jerk during the trumpet playing, then GET OFF MY LAWN!

Sure, if you think what Trump is doing is somehow unique and not basically just more of what Republicans have done for 30+ years.

Drew clearly cares more about guns than any other issue. The problem is he won’t even admit that taking guns away from people who are too mentally incompetent to manage their own finances is a good idea. While I think Drew is more competent than most on that side of the aisle, the fact that even the most obvious common sense gun law such as that one is a problem for him, tells you a good amount of why he votes for republicans.

I'm 50 and have family that's not moving. I'm not leaving my family so I can get out of this ****hole. Just like any other father who lives in another ****hole.

Many do this every day. Many come here.

Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Maybe not here, nowadays, but in Europe, they do. They leave families, try to establish, and then get their families.

And you said you would never leave your family, "like any other father who lives in a sh*hole," and that latter part is incorrect. Many do, to MAKE a better life for their families. If this country is indeed THAT bad (to you), you WOULD leave and find another country that is better, to make a better life for your family.

I am not encouraging, nor condoning Scoob's leaving the country. But, if he feels that strongly, he'd act on it. Not just talk about it. He is rationalizing, and it's bullsh*.

Depends on the age. If the kids are single digit they will totally rock out (and my god they'll be considered stars when they hit their teens -- trim city). Older, yes, that would be hard. Although if they're from a coastal city not nearly as hard -- cosmopolitanism runs deep, and they'll probably want it more.

In generally the more you travel and expose your kids to variety the better for them.
